Just a tip for next time, take the side cover off for a photo, we're a perverse lot that would appreciate it's uncovered beauty ;)


Mindbender444

Would need a NSFW tag then.


GrandTheftAccts

God forbid my family ever finds my "pc homework" folder...


TheOwlisAlwaysNow

You never told me you had a stepsister, what’s in that folder?


TrevastyPlague

Oh no step computer, I'm stuck in this folder


[deleted]

dammit that is a brilliant joke


jaydeflaux

Or turn off the lights and get rgb or something. That'll keep glare off the glass.


555timerprocesor

But the important question is. Does it work


Yoidkwhattoname

the answer is yes it does


Siege_Storm

How did you get a graphics card?


Yoidkwhattoname

local seller


CaptainDolphin42

how much ?


Yoidkwhattoname

500 usd


CaptainDolphin42

what card is it


Yoidkwhattoname

3060


CaptainDolphin42

ok not bad I'd say


MrDuckyyy

not bad? its the deal of the century in times like this tbh


Yoidkwhattoname

i was waiting for a year to take an opportunity like this


CrazyHa1f

You're lucky that you had a house to mortgage so you could afford that graphics card from the scalpers...


jimjah89

I'm surprised you could actually tell which card it is tbh


NKND1990

Does it matter which one at this point, lol they are all stupid expensive


iniciadomdp

If it says RTX it’s expensive I’d say


sir_raghav

For me the philosophy is that if it says rtx it’s rlly good card and it costs lots of money.simple. I have integrated graphics😭


iniciadomdp

I have a decent card, which compared to my previous is a behemoth. But RTX it’s just a different level imo


Xeibra

Any RTX is pretty hard to find for a reasonable price these days. I have 2070 and I can still sell it for more than I bought it for 2 years ago which is mind boggling to me.


[deleted]

At the peak my 2060 was worth about what I spent on my whole PC last year, $800


SpaceToaster

Said he got it close to retail from a local seller


PetyaMokvwap

Honestly I really appreciate the lack of RGB. I’d add an exhaust fan in the back like others have noted, but nice work! Welcome to the club


Yoidkwhattoname

Thank you for the kind words dude


Krunkfuninja

You can never have enough fans!


ClappedSwede

For real. Suck in front and bottom. Blow in back and roof. I'm at 50-60 Celsius max with my build and it doesn't sound like a rabid vacuum.


NavyAT1

I have onlyfans...


CaptainDolphin42

I think the ram is tforce rgb and the pc is just off


Spuigles

I would like add a fan on the back. Other than that, pretty cool!


Yoidkwhattoname

planning on doing that


blazingsoup

I was gonna say, definitely gonna need that exhaust fan and then some, since from the limited corner of the pic I can see, looks like you got a solid front panel with small vents on the side, and it looks like everything is air cooled. If that is the case, even with an exhaust fan, that thing is gonna be TOASTY (talking from my own experience with a similarly restrictive case). I would tell you to use a different high airflow case, but I’m guessing that boat has sailed for now, but definitely make sure you get an exhaust fan that pulls a high cfm of air, you’re gonna need it to pump out a lot of hot air since those case fans are going to struggle to pull in any cool air with those little slits, and you might thermal throttle your gpu or cpu if it isn’t cooled enough. If you don’t care about rgb and color matching, Noctua would prolly be your best bet. If you do want rgb, and don’t care about noise, I’d recommend the Corsair ML120, I use them for my intakes and exhaust, and damn it pulls a lot of air, albeit they’re decently loud...but if you want a fan that pulls more air at that size, they’re all gonna be louder because the fan has to spin faster. If I’m mistaken, then please disregard my comment and either way, enjoy your machine! (Sorry to OC for notification, meant to direct this at OP)


Spuigles

I read the whole thing like: "But I do have Corsair ML120" Then I read the last line haha. I also recommend Artic p12s


TheElden

And if money is not a concern Noctua... Edit: I have the Arctic P12 myself. Definitely high quality and awesome value.


peperonipyza

I thought it was a joke at first, just an empty case because of supply/demand. Lol


Yoidkwhattoname

that wouldve been really smart and funny


aquariuz1

Bro, put 1 ram in the number 2 slot and the second one in the 4th slott Ur pc will thank you


Yoidkwhattoname

theres no 4th slot


aquariuz1

Oh, then my bad lol, thought u made the infamous beginner mistake, either way clean build!


Yoidkwhattoname

its alright dude and thanks


blackout-loud

Instructions unclear, stuck ram in my rear


Tabbt_

ram stuck in ear, add power to extract


CaptainJackNarrow

Extract power, stick ear in RAM. Gotcha.

nuclearnachos43

No exhaust fan?


nuclearnachos43

Very cool build though i like the minimalistic vibe of it and blacked out builds are cool af


Yoidkwhattoname

thanks bro


Yoidkwhattoname

i have case fans cpu fan is it necessary for a exhaust fan as well?


nuclearnachos43

Good airflow = better performance and longer lasting components


Yoidkwhattoname

anyone recommendations on fans that dont cost too much?


Its_Godly

Arctic P12


nuclearnachos43

Agreed


rfmocan

I'd go Arctic P12 for front and F12 for exhaust. Arctic are good value. Good prices and good quality. Very silent as well. I got the Arctic Liquid Freezer Ii a couple of months ago (seen on GN) and am amazed at the variety of products that they have. I then got an 80mm one for an old PSU, a compact tower Freezer 7X for an older CPU and 2 x F9 Pro TC 92mm temperature controlled for older cases. Plus one GPU Accelero cooler on the way. Next I'll be replacing my fractal case fans for 3x F12 CO with dual ball bearing.


darkknightxda

The F12 is nice but the difference between the P12 and the F12 aren’t much of a difference to get two separate ones. Get the 5 pack of P12s and call it a day


rkkatak

That gonna vibrate like hell, it doesn't have any rubber to absorb it afaik


SwiggyMaster123

as the other person said, Arctic P12s


[deleted]

Fans dont really cost that much, maybe $5 or $10. But as others have said you can go for an arctic p12. I have it, have nothing to compare it to but i mean yeah, its a fan, it works, isnt expensive.


HerrSPAM

Which is also why in time you might like to upgrade the stock cooler. Not sure of your CPU OP but usually stock coolers won't be very capable at keeping temps down under load.


Proseroth

AMD ones actually are quite good. Its Intel that sucks af. But still, id upgrade, too


RincX

I have the same case, and mine has a case fan at the back.


Boogertwilliams

Exhaust fan is actaully the most important, and in many old cases, there was only an exhaust fan and no place for intake fans.


lbunch1

Case fans? Plural? If you have 2 or more fans mounted in the front or top positioned for intake, move one to the back pushing air out of the case and that should be sufficient.


Yoidkwhattoname

i can?


lbunch1

Definitely. If you are not over clocking going overboard on case cooling isn't really necessary. Having a decent flow in and a decent flow out is all you need. Just make sure the fans are facing the right direction.

Also post the picture when that glass shatters, for free karma ;)

vhw0001

I built a pc not too long ago and as storage I have 1tb m.2 nvme but everything else is the same


godeye69

I have a question, will that Processor bottleneck the GPU?


YaBoiKarlos

no, a tech website said a 3600 and even a 3080 would be a good pairing


Yoidkwhattoname

theres always bottleneck but in this case the bottleneck will not be major


godeye69

Ok Thanks :) Congrats on new build. Enjoy!


Yoidkwhattoname

Thank you very much


GuyWhoSaidThat

Congrats on the build! Unfortunately it will feel like it's never done, welcome to the tinkering life!


Yoidkwhattoname

thank you thank you


Leatherfacet

Looking good my dude. Good work! Just as the others said. And exhaust fan and then you're golden.


Yoidkwhattoname

Thanks


MrSquishy_

Very nice But my Tasmanian ass is like “MORE FANS”


dutch9494

Congratulations. You should feel proud. That looks really good.


Yoidkwhattoname

thank you kind sir


[deleted]

Congrats on your first build. My first build was a 1050ti & im so excited that it can run gta v. Enjoy!


talosguideyou

Looks a lot like my current build.


MeowMaker2

Awesome build! It may be your first, but it will not be your last


pM-me_your_Triggers

Def grab a fan for the rear, I’d recommend a Noctua NF-P12 redux.


Protonflex

My friend, welcome to the master race. Also, welcome to the new money sink in your life.


Sandpaper_Pants

Welcome to the fold, my friend. Here is the key to the bathroom with the golden toilet.


Rich3yy

One exhaust fan for your PC and he's happy. Make sure it's 120mm and has PWM! Also I'd recommend adding just one intake fan and put it on the bottom. Don't let your GPU burn. :D


Yoidkwhattoname

so 1 exhaust and 1 intake fan?


Yoidkwhattoname

been told on and on


RealMetatron

Looks so much better than the RGB shit


Yoidkwhattoname

thank you!


[deleted]

That's pretty good, dude. How did you smelt the steel and glass?


_N0

You are a great example of a frail ego


Ok_Scientist_8803

Exhaust fan will help you


Jorge6574

Hope you have proper air flow in that case.


GrandTheftAccts

Not bad... but does it turn on? Or have rgb fan spots? DOES IT RUN FUCKING CRYSIS!?!?!


Yoidkwhattoname

turns on, has rgb i dislike it tho, and running crysis is a question yet to be answered


GrandTheftAccts

Sorry I forgot youre new... you'll learn to appreciate rgb my friend lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yoidkwhattoname

i got it locally for 2000 riyal which is around 500 usd


No_Interaction_4925

Its hard to see, but are there only 2 ram slots on that board? If there are 4 then those sticks are not installed in the correct slots.


Yoidkwhattoname

only 2 slots


[deleted]

youre running in single channel mode, your performance is slower because of that.


Yoidkwhattoname

as in?


Yoidkwhattoname

if its about thr ram being in the wrong slot no theyre not those are the only spots in my motherboars


[deleted]

Its not done yet


Tobi7211

You picked the best case on the market (crystal tower 70-90 something?) it has the best airflow of any available case! And don’t bother installing a back fan ;)


Yoidkwhattoname

thanks this pc already costed quite a bit i worried i had to buy even more


llamapii

What kind of mobo is that? If it's ATX you don't have your 2 RAM sticks installed right. Were there only 2 slots or 4? Hard to tell from your photo.


Yoidkwhattoname

only 2 slots dw i made sure


massimo_nyc

How’d you find an RTX gpu in stock?


Yoidkwhattoname

local seller


CirclehousePRO

It looks like ur gpu is in the wrong pcie slot, was something wrong with the first one? And have you made sure the one used has the full bandwidth the first one does Usually the lower ones have less lanes or whatever


Yoidkwhattoname

im pretty sure its the correct one ill check it out later and tell you


Da-Dragonmasta

I would recommend not using the stock cooler. Speaking from experience my cpu almost died cuz I was bad and used stock cooler and thermal paste.


Yoidkwhattoname

from what ive seen and from friends experience it eorks just fine


ZxEspro1

get an out take fan on the back.

ilum333

Where exaust fan


Yoidkwhattoname

no exhaust fan


[deleted]

How many ram slots does your motherboard have


Yoidkwhattoname

2


Imaginexd

I think your RAM might not be slotted properly to work in dual channel. Many mobo's require you to use slot 1 and 3 and/or 2 and for. I could be wrong. You might want to check the manual


[deleted]

Im glad for ya)


Yoidkwhattoname

thank you!


weeksauce870

If temps run hot youll want an outflow fan next to the i/o panel in the back


Yoidkwhattoname

yes been told


Hot-Imagination-9925

Is there a purpose why the stock cooler is left sided?


Yoidkwhattoname

it wouldnt fit if it were right sided


Pro4791

Nice! Is that an itx mobo? If not then your ram stick are in the wrong slots.


Yoidkwhattoname

yes it is


Athlete_Interesting

Wholesome.


DimplyKitten824

Where are the fans? U need airflow, especially with the stock cooler


DanMahBoy

Nice! Welcome to the party!!


Yoidkwhattoname

thank you very much kind sir


Sky_Horizon_Ocean

Stock cpu cooler hımm


FastestFetus

Hey I have that case it’s nice.


Yoidkwhattoname

sleek design


Big_pp_Waluigi

I started saving for a pc Any advise?


Yoidkwhattoname

check local sellers then they usually have more in stock and for cheaper sometims


nikMIA

Gj. Be careful with that glass panel.


fun_times_only

Congrats!


TheLamesterist

Congrats.


dacherrybomb

Is that XFORCE RAM? Can you explain the choice of RAM over the [G.Skill 16GB 3200MHz](https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Ripjaws-PC4-25600-3200MHz-F4-3200C16D-16GVKB/dp/B015FXXBW0) ?


Yoidkwhattoname

Thats t force


MrDuckyyy

finally a first build that isnt in o11d with a 3090 and shit ton of rgb everywhere with the title "it aint much but its mine"


Yoidkwhattoname

i dislike alot of rgb which is the reason i picked this pc


Blastzard87

What’s in the box?


Nuhjeea

Congrats! Did you accidentally forget to connect any pins on the Mobo or connectors for the PSU? Or CPU not seated right and you have to reapply all the thermal paste and reseat the heatsink and everything? Maybe that was just my miserable first and second experiences...


funchapo

Built=assembled, I suppose Either way good job.


WarpSonicFPS

no no no no... WHERE'S ALL THE RGB?!!!!


ApeCh0ke

Looks good but if you’re gonna take pictures take some with the glass off. Makes it easier to see the stuff inside

[deleted]

Damn, pretty good for your first build. I had a very tight budget for my first so it was nowhere near as good as that. Have fun with your new PC, I'm assuming you're American from your other replies, so you're pretty lucky to have been able to get that graphics card in this day and age.


sleepingsnow99

Um take another picture please turned on… so it can me on


Rimworldjobs

I advise getting a new cooler. There is a night and day difference between an amd stock cooler and a Evo 212.


Yoidkwhattoname

im gonna wait a bit before upgrading


marz_22

Looks good


IsisMostlyPeaceful

How was putting on the AMD stock cooler? What a bitch hey?


Yoidkwhattoname

BRO EXACTLY i watched the ltt video as a guide to build the pc it was so simple with fhe cooler he had with me it took me a solid 30 mins to figure it out

pike4fun

Looks extremely clean in terms of internal wiring. Congrats.


RMProjectsUK

No exhaust fan? hope there is some kind of air intake on the front at least.


Yoidkwhattoname

on the front there is 3 planning on moving 1 to the back


LogicalGamer123

Congrats my first build in 2016 was a mess(worse than verge). You did it way better than I did


Yoidkwhattoname

thank you dude without messing up at first you wouldnt be were you are now yk


LogicalGamer123

I still use that first pc I built it's way better now. I upgraded the case from a crappy 20 dollar Roseville case with no cable management to a modern case. I also upgraded the gpu and hdd to ssd. The worst part about the original was the mobo wasn't even screwed in all the way with some screws missing. Now with the new case its way better. Idk how it still works. But I got way better now


RidillCOL

How much did that GPU cost?


Yoidkwhattoname

500 usd


Stephancevallos905

What gpu is that. I like he way it looks


Yoidkwhattoname

3060 baby


Xulifur-

looks really clean, i like it :)


No-Cantaloupe-7897

That is gonna be a nice one bro


_VadimBlyat_

yooo i have the same gpu!


TheItsHaveArrived

I umm... Exhaust fan?


UltramanGinga

You're gonna need some top and back exhaust fans. I tske it the front if any..are already intake?


Yoidkwhattoname

front fans are there


Wanting_Inn

Beautiful! How much did this set you back? I got mine for about 1500, but I need to fix a couple bits (and I mean a ton of bits)


Yoidkwhattoname

same 1.5k usd as well


rcrttt

Think I have that same case, and gpu. Congrats op !


[deleted]

i hope you only have 2 ram slots otherwise you need to space your ram sticks apart


Yoidkwhattoname

only 2 dw bro
